I mean eliminating or at least drastically reducing education
funding by tax dollars, and individual parents paying the bulk of
the cost for their childrens education.
I also favor revamping the current tax code to a flat tax and
eliminating all redistribute-the-wealth schemes. (like the "earned
income tax credit") Lets say 10% for starters, so someone who
makes $100,000 a year pays $10,000 vs someone who makes $10,000 a
year and pays $1000.
Under the current highly inequitable system the top 5% of wage
earners pay 50% of all taxes.
